I have come to rely on Avon's on several large CC bikes over the years. I recently completed a week in the Smokies (lots of curves) and a run to Sturges and surrounding states via the Denver area Rockies on my Rocket III Touring. With over 9K miIes on the mounted tire I ordered a new front tire because it's on sale not out of necessity "yet".

Recently purchased the Avon Cobras for the front and rear of my night train. I couldn't be more pleased with the performance. The handling is flawless corners like my street bike traction is great does great in the rain doesn't wander on grooved roads anymore and the ride is softer. I can't comment on longevity but the day after I mounted them I went on a 2200 mile trip to New Mexico and these did great. I'm sticking with these for good and also Chaparral Motorsports had the best prices I have found.
